[Verse 1]
Why can't I have you
Are you too far away
Is it the distance I keep
Or the words I don't say

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All these days I've run like a devil gone wild
Only to end helpless like a newborn child

[Chorus]
Why can't I have you tonight
Why can't I have you tonight
Why can't I have you?

[Verse 2]
Why can't I have you
Now the day has drawn
Is it the love you require
Or the love I have shown

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All these nights I'm freed beneath the light of the moon
Just to be held hostage with the thoughts of you

[Chorus]
Why can't I have you tonight
Why can't I have you tonight
Why can't I have you?
[Bridge]
I talk aloud in this empty room
I'm lost but found when it comes to you

[Chorus]
Why can't I have you tonight
Why can't I have you tonight
Why can't I have you?

[Outro]
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Why can't I have you?
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Why can't I have you?
